"Team News" reported that the 40-year-old former French goalkeeper Mandanda has decided to retire.

Mandanda has become a free agent since his contract with Rennes expired in July, and the 40-year-old Mandanda decided to end his career.

Mandanda said: "I need to take time to accept it (retirement), because it's not easy, but yes, I stopped. I went through a long period of thinking because I received a lot of calls (from Le Havre, Lorient, Guern, Brest, Montpellier), but I refused every time."

Mandanda has played for teams such as Marseille, Rennes, and Crystal Palace, among them, and played 35 games for France, and has won the World Cup, UEFA Champions League, Ligue 1 Champions League, French League Cup Champions League and other honors.
